GDT: St. Louis Blues vs. Vancouver Canucks -- Game 2 |NHLN, FSMW|5:30 CT|

[The Note]

as i said earlier someone needs to drop the gloves

Do they get two goals for that?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

“Oh yay, a powerplay!”

- no blues fan

 

[Louie the Blue]

yeah its time to sit JB for game 3. really have nothing to lose, thats a stoppable shot right there.

I don't necessarily disagree, but the last time we saw a HC try that with a goalie (2016 WCF with Allen starting and Elliott being benched) was that move when Elliott wasn't the problem.

I'm not sure if Binnington's the problem here.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

“Was” being the operative word. My question is what does he do well right now?

In "OUR" system he doesn't do anything. He's more of a playmaker in an offensive orientated and speedy play style. We're more of a Crash the Boards and wear them down play style. Put him on a team like Edm, Tor, or Pit he would flourish.

 

[Thallis]

A sweep isn't out of the question here

 

[TheDizee]

refs could give us 2 mins of a 5on3 and we still wouldn't score

Gets Horvat off the ice for 2min. So kind of a win

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

oh bozak

 

[Blanick]

Damn it. Put it to the net and crash. Come on guys, your playing Vancouver hockey.

Did you see the first goal?

 

[Note Worthy]

Hit the damn net. How many damn shots go high?

 

[President Skroob]

How do they think standing around so much on the power play works?

 

[EastonBlues22]

Blues currently outscored 2-8 on special teams during the playoffs...1-5 in this series.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Markstrom laying on his side, shoot over the net. JFC

 

[sfvega]

We seem to think that open shot outside of the faceoff dot that they keep conceding is a good chance. Our power play differs quite a bit from theirs that way. They actually get it into the slot.

The coaches don’t think he’s good enough to be on our PP. I just don’t buy this. He’s not good.

 

[Bendak]

Feels like Markstrom is getting the shutout tonight

Binny was definitely a problem in game 1.

And i dont think keeping elliot in the net instead of benching him would have changed the outcome of that series anyway.

 

[TheDizee]

bubble hockey from hell

 

[simon IC]

He was a 3 time all star with the Hurricanes. And he would definitely do much better in a more offensive orientated system.

I agree and disagree. He was a 3 time all-star partly because the system needs a player from every team, and Faulk was the best Carolina had. He got most of his points in Carolina on the PP, and had terrible +/- every year except his last one there. He would be okay on a team that could put him on the 1st PP unit all the time, and pair him with someone really good defensively. Carolina did this by putting on with Slavin and Pesce.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I layed down just as the Blues did.

I think I'll take a nap.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Did you see the first goal?

He wasn’t available to repeat it unless they replicated the overturned goal.

 

[EastonBlues22]

Our seam coverage is freaking Godawful.

 

[i aint Dunn yet]

Do they get two goals for that?

i dont know im new to this sport

 

[STL BLUES]

Billington looking behind makes me a little concerned
